• If the engine has been identified as an Interference engine, damage to the engine will occur if the timing belt has been damaged. A compression check of all the cylinders should be taken before the cylinder head (s) are removed.

• Do not turn crankshaft or camshaft when the timing belt/chain has been removed.

• To make turning the engine easier, remove the spark plugs/glow plugs or injectors.

• Observe all tightening torques.

• Do not turn the engine using the camshaft or any other sprocket.

• Disconnect the battery earth lead (check Radio code is available).

• Do not use cleaning fluids on belts, sprockets or rollers.

• Some toothed timing belts are not interchangeable. Check the replacement belt has the correct tooth profile.

• Always mark the belt with the direction of running before removal.

• Do not lever or force the belt onto its sprockets.
